Frequently Asked Questions

A: A clinical trial is a research study that tests how well new medical approaches work in people. These studies test new methods of screening, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. Clinical trials are essential for developing new treatments and improving existing ones.

A: Participating in clinical trials offers several benefits:

• Access to new treatments before they're widely available

• Close monitoring by healthcare professionals

• Compensation for your time and travel

• Contributing to medical research that may help others

• Taking an active role in your healthcare decisions

A: Clinical trials are carefully designed and closely monitored to protect participants. All trials must be approved by ethics committees and regulatory bodies before they can begin. Participants are informed of all known risks and can withdraw at any time. However, as with any medical procedure, some risk is involved, which is why informed consent is so important.

A: Most clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and any inconvenience. The amount varies depending on the trial's requirements, duration, and intensity. Payment details are always disclosed upfront before you commit to participation.
